1872 Cup family passes: a festive day out for the whole family

11 Nov 2026

Family passes for the 1872 Cup start from just £90, giving families the chance to enjoy a festive day out together at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Sunday 27 December, for less.

Edinburgh Rugby’s family passes mean a family of four can watch the only festive 1872 Cup derby for £90 or £107 (not including booking fees), making it one of the best-value days out over the Christmas holidays.

On Sunday 27 December (kick-off 3pm), Edinburgh welcome Glasgow Warriors to Scottish Gas Murrayfield for the opening leg of the 1872 Cup. With the deciding leg at Hampden Park in April, it’s the only time the two sides meet over the festive period this season.

With family home for the holidays, it’s the ideal chance to get everyone back in town and together for the biggest game in the Scottish club calendar.

For many families, the festive derby has become a regular part of the Christmas holidays. It’s a chance for relatives home for the holidays to meet up, for grandparents to bring grandchildren to their first derby, and for kids to experience a packed Scottish Gas Murrayfield.

If you’ve never been, this is a great year to start. If you come every year, bring someone new along!

Two family passes to choose from

Family Pass 1: one adult and three U16s, £90 (£22.50 per person)
Family Pass 2: two adults and two U16s, £107 (under £27 per person)

Both passes are for Category 3 seats in Scottish Gas Murrayfield, which give you a great view of the pitch, so the kids won’t miss a moment of the derby.

Children under two go free when accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket. A booking fee applies for both family passes.

Whether it’s a parent bringing the kids, or grandparents, aunts and uncles treating the youngsters, there’s a pass to suit.

The biggest game of the festive season

Edinburgh and Glasgow first met in 1872, making the 1872 Cup world rugby’s oldest club derby. More than 150 years on, it’s still the biggest date in the Scottish club calendar.

The crowds keep growing too. A club-record crowd of more than 40,000 attended in December 2024, with over 38,000 back at Scottish Gas Murrayfield last December.
